Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 89

Chapter 89 The End of Concubine Ni
After about half an hour, the Dark Guards brought Eunuch Zhang and Concubine Ni to the Crown Prince’s bedroom. They moved to the side of the minister and retreated to the side. They waited for His Highness the Crown Prince’s orders. When Concubine Ni saw that something was wrong, he asked, “May I know what His Highness the Crown Prince had brought this palace here for?”

Huyan Mingshuo said coldly, “What do you mean? Didn’t you plan this? Don’t think that Ye Lan is all idiots. Take them to search the palace and search every place.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The Dark Guards then led everyone around the Crown Prince’s dormitory, turning the entire palace into a mess. Suddenly, someone shouted, “Who is it? Where are they? Come out?”

A eunuch came out of the flower bushes in a panic. He was holding a bundle in his hand. Because of his panic, the bundle in his hand fell to the ground. Inside, a bright dragon robe appeared in front of everyone. Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ah, there really is a dragon robe.”

The dragon robe was fashionably made of exquisite materials, The minister couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. This time, his life was saved. The ministers looked at each other with disbelief on their faces. At this moment, Duke Youxian calmly said, “Bring him to His Highness the Crown Prince. Everything will come to light. It really can’t be faked. It really can’t be faked.”

“Yes, Prince Youxian.” Everyone brought the eunuch to Huyan Mingshuo. Huyan Mingshuo and Fu Yingran were still waiting at the main seat. The palace guards pushed the eunuch hard and made him kneel in front of Huyan Mingshuo. Then, they reported, “Your Highness, we found this eunuch near the garden. This is the bundle he was carrying.”

As he spoke, the hidden guard handed the bundle to Huyan Mingshuo. Huyan Mingshuo took it and reached out to open the bundle. He shook the dragon robe out and said to Fu Yingran, “Come and take a look.” Huyan Mingshuo had a headache. He would encounter such a scheme several times a year. Every time, it was the Empress Mother who took care of it. He really wasn’t good at this. The so-called’ruler has its shortcomings and inches, and everyone has its weaknesses. ‘If it was perfect, then it wouldn’t be a human or a god.

Fu Yingran could just make up for what he wasn’t good at. His little wife, a ghost spirit, was no match for her in general calculations. Fu Yingran looked at him as if he was taking it for granted. Although he had complaints in his heart, he still picked up the dragon robe and looked at it.

Then she smiled and asked the eunuch, “Who told you to bring this dress to the Crown Prince’s bedroom?” When everyone heard her question, they thought to themselves, “Could it be that the Crown Princess wants to find a scapegoat? However, the eunuch then said,” Reporting to the Crown Princess, this was sent here by the Empress. This was made by the Empress after staying up all night. ”

Hearing Little Tai Chi’s reply, everyone’s hearts almost stopped in fear. Could it be that the Empress, together with the Crown Prince, was planning to take advantage of the fact that the Emperor was unconscious to force the palace to usurp the throne?

At this moment, Ni Fei’s aged voice sounded, “Hahaha, Huyan Mingshuo, Your Majesty, you all have today as well. Everyone heard that the Crown Prince and Your Majesty are trying to force the palace to rebel, but even the dragon robe was prepared in advance. This is a stolen goods.”

Right Virtuous King was also panicking. What exactly was going on? How could the Empress be so confused? She had endured so many years. To do so now was undoubtedly to put the Crown Prince to death. He couldn’t help but look at Huyan Mingshuo. He was the only one with a dark complexion. He didn’t know what was wrong.

Thus, he angrily scolded the little eunuch, “Slave Diao, who told you to frame the Empress and the Crown Prince? Hurry up and don’t come from the truth. Otherwise, this king will destroy your nine clans.”

At this moment, the minister also said confidently, “Could it be that the Right Virtuous King is going to kill people and silence them?”

Fu Yingran glanced at the crowd and calmly said, “Uncle, don’t be angry. This dress should have been sent by Mother Empress. Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed wearing this dress. Everyone, please take a closer look. This is not a dragon robe. This is a robe made by Mother Empress according to the ancestral system for the Crown Prince.”

Imperial Concubine Ni immediately retorted, “Fu Yingran, are you lying? Do you think everyone is blind? The truth is right in front of you. You still need to argue.”

Fu Yingran looked up at her. ‘”Of course you are not blind. Everyone can take a closer look. This is a python robe, not a dragon robe. Everyone knows that the five claws are dragons and four claws are pythons. According to the rules of the ancestral system, His Highness the Crown Prince can wear a bright yellow four-clawed python robe. It is difficult for Mother to make a robe for the Crown Prince while he is busy. This is my wife’s negligence.”

When the Virtuous King of Right heard this, he took two steps forward and looked at the four-clawed golden python on his clothes. The stone in his heart instantly landed on the ground. Huyan Mingshuo’s expression also instantly improved. However, Concubine Ni and the minister could not accept it. As for Eunuch Chen, he didn’t dare to say a word. From the moment he saw the minister, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to live.

At this time, at the entrance of the bedroom hall, the Empress’ luanjia happened to stop. The eunuch accompanying her shouted loudly, “The Empress has arrived.” Everyone heard the shouts and immediately went out to welcome the Empress. Everyone respectfully crawled on the ground and shouted, “Greetings, Empress. Thousand years old! Thousand years old!” They had just heard the Crown Princess say that disrespecting the Empress was a capital offense. Moreover, Ye Lan was already the Crown Prince, and the Empress deserved to be respected.

The Empress glanced at everyone and saw Fu Yingran kneeling there with a big belly. She quickly reached out to help her up and said, “Get up. There’s no need to bow when you see this palace in the future. With such a big belly, you still have to run around. It’s been hard on you.” The so-called “knowing a son is like a mother.” His son really needs such an alert wife beside him. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to plot against him.

But as a mother, When she was not sure if Fu Yingran could help the Crown Prince, she was also worried. Therefore, after hearing about the Dragon Robe incident, she had such a difficult problem. She wanted to see if Fu Yingran could calmly deal with it. Fortunately, Fu Yingran did not disappoint her expectations. She could also rest assured that she could entrust her son to her care. After all, she could not take care of him for the rest of her life.

“Thank you, Mother.” Fu Yingran stood up. Then, the Empress said to everyone, “Get up.”

Looking at the crowd crawling at her feet, the Empress felt infinite emotion in her heart. Although she had seen such a scene before, it was only a perfunctory act in front of people. Everyone did not respect her sincerely, but now it was different. Her son was in charge, and she, as a mother, could also raise her head and behave with dignity.

The Empress couldn’t help but glance around. Seeing Concubine Ni standing there with an old face, She didn’t bow to her. If it wasn’t for her face, the Empress probably wouldn’t have recognized her. Fortunately, Lei Yu had already told her everything that had happened in the Imperial Capital all along the way. Of course, she knew why Concubine Ni had become like this. Thus, the Empress deliberately asked, “Who is that old woman over there? Why didn’t she bow when she saw this palace?”

Imperial Concubine Ni’s eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger. She gritted her teeth and said, “Back then, when I entered the manor, I was the imperial concubine. You were just a side imperial concubine. How dare I bow to you? What a joke.”

“Oh, who was I at that time? So it was Concubine Ni. How did you become like this? This palace only left the palace for a period of time. Could it be that time has stopped in the mountains? This palace has only just reached middle age. How did Concubine Ni become so old?” The Empress was incomparably excited at this moment. Ever since she married into the Crown Prince’s Mansion, she had been suppressed by Concubine Ni.

Even after the emperor ascended to the throne, Concubine Ni still didn’t give her any respect. Due to the Emperor’s deliberate indulgence, her dignified mother was suppressed by a concubine when there were no outsiders. Now that her son was promising, she could finally raise her head and speak to her. The Empress couldn’t help but blush when she thought about the grievances she had suffered all these years.

Huyan Mingshuo saw the Empress’s red eyes. The pain in his heart was like a needle. He gently tugged at Fu Yingran’s sleeve. Motioning for her to persuade the Empress, Fu Yingran glanced at him. Nodding his head, he walked to the Empress and said playfully, ‘”Mother, it’s not that the years in the mountains have stopped. It’s that Imperial Concubine Ni’s body has gone wrong. Perhaps it’s because she has done too much wrongdoing. The heavens couldn’t see it and punished her. That’s why she became so old overnight. If you don’t believe me, your wife was pregnant when you left, but now she’s only a little bigger, which means that you haven’t left for long.”

Fu Yingran deliberately raised his stomach. This was the eternal pain of Concubine Ni’s generation, and it was also the most powerful weapon to stimulate Concubine Ni. When the Empress heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh and say, “You, ghosts and spirits are about to become mothers. You still don’t have a proper form.”

Imperial Concubine Ni saw their family chatting and laughing, The jealousy in his heart was hard to calm down, She also knew that she couldn’t do anything good today, Now that she no longer had the Emperor’s protection, it was easy for the Empress to deal with her. Rather than survive, she would rather die a happy death. Thus, she shouted at Fu Yingran, “Shut up. When is it your turn to talk about this palace? No matter what, this palace is still the Crown Prince’s mother’s concubine. What qualifications do you have to say this about this palace?”

Hearing that, Fu Yingran rolled his eyes and lowered his head to Huyan Mingshuo’s side. He said with red eyes, “Husband, hasn’t Father already demoted her to the common people? How can she still call herself this palace? He has been married to Father for decades and is still a girl. How can he become your mother’s concubine? I am a grand prince, Yuan Fei, can’t I call her a common person?”

Huyan Mingshuo knew that she was acting, but when he saw her red eyes, he patted her back and said, “It’s fine. Husband will make the decision for you.” He then turned around and instructed the hidden guards of the Imperial Palace, “This palace said earlier that if we can’t find the dragon robe, all the relevant personnel will be killed. Those three people will deliberately frame Chu Jun and bring him down to immediately kill him.”

Imperial Concubine Ni was right. In any case, She was the emperor’s concubine, If Fu Yingran had to deal with his unforgivable accusations, it would be bad for her reputation. Thus, she pretended to be weak and asked Huyan Mingshuo to take action. After all, Huyan Mingshuo had personally said that if he could not find the dragon robe, all the relevant personnel would be killed. This way, she could deal with Ni Fei righteously and not let her reputation be damaged.

The hidden guards of the Imperial Palace have been secretly patrolling the Imperial Palace all year round, So what Ni Fei has done all these years, They all saw it, The reason why the palace was in chaos today was all planned by Ni Fei. From the beginning to the end, they had seen the whole matter in their eyes, but they could not appear to deal with it before receiving the master’s order. Now that the Crown Prince had given the order, they had rudely carried the three of them out of the Crown Prince’s bedroom.

Of course, when Concubine Ni was dragged out, he was cursed and scolded. He was dragged out by the hidden guards all the way. The ministers present were horrified. His Highness the Crown Prince really did what he said. He was decisive in killing. It seemed that he had to be careful in the future. He must not be perfunctory anymore.

Huyan Mingshuo looked at everyone’s expressions and was very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted. Killing chickens and warning monkeys. If he didn’t subdue these old bones, wouldn’t the court in Ye Lan be in chaos in the future if he went out to fight?

Everyone was silent with their own thoughts. Suddenly, a scream came from outside the bedroom door, “Ah …” Then, it came to an abrupt halt.
